A nourishing lunch featuring oven-roasted chicken and vegetables served over quinoa, all enhanced with a rich chicken bone broth reduction sauce.
Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz each)
- 1 cup chicken bone broth
- 1 cup quinoa, rinsed
- 1 medium zucchini, sliced into half-moons
- 1 red bell pepper, sliced
- 1 small red onion, sliced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400u00b0F (200u00b0C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, toss zucchini, bell pepper, and red onion with 1 tablespoon olive oil, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on baking sheet.
- Pat chicken breasts dry and season both sides with salt and pepper. Place on baking sheet with vegetables.
- Roast in oven for 20-25 minutes until chicken reaches 165u00b0F (74u00b0C) and vegetables are tender and slightly charred.
- While roasting, cook quinoa according to package directions, using chicken bone broth instead of water for enhanced flavor.
- In a small saucepan, simmer remaining 1 cup chicken bone broth over medium heat until reduced by half (about 10 minutes). Stir in lemon juice.
- Slice chicken breasts. Divide quinoa between two bowls, top with roasted vegetables and sliced chicken.
- Drizzle bone broth reduction over bowls and garnish with fresh parsley.

Cooking Tips
- For crispier vegetables, spread them in a single layer without overcrowding the baking sheet.
- Let chicken rest for 5 minutes after roasting before slicing to retain juices.
- Adjust bone broth reduction consistency by simmering longer for a thicker sauce.
